Socialize with me

Not on my agenda this week…going to the ER!

If you have kids, chances are you have been to the Emergency Room AT LEAST once, if not more! My 9 yo Lily has been a few times…mostly for some regular sick things and then once for a horrible dog attack which happened a little over a year ago.

A few days ago it was my two year old, Luna’s turn. I had just put her down for her afternoon nap and about a half hour later she was crying and yelling “Mommy, come here!” Since she was recently potty trained, I thought it was just her usual call to let me know she had to go to the bathroom. Oh no…total opposite. I walked in and it looked like something out of the Exorcist. Now, I have never seen that movie, only parts, but you get the idea!

Luna has been sick before but even as sick as she has been, she is usually always in really good spirits. Not this time. She couldn’t stop vomiting and then it looked like she was about to have a seizure. I was scared and very worried. It made me think of my sweet bestie in Cali whose daughter was recently diagnosed with Diabetes and has experience with seizures. They really have had a rough go but that kid is awesome and pretty darn resilient! I knew in that moment it was time to go to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. In my last radio job, I spent ten years raising money for those hospitals so I know alllll about them and how amazing they are. Since we moved to the country though, the closest one is Scottish Rite (a good 45 mins) but we were more than happy to go the distance for the care that they give. Turns out Luna got that horrible stomach super bug that is going around and after spending the afternoon in the ER, by the time we were driving home that night, she was a new little girl! It was like night and day! Praise the Lord!

PS. On a funny side note…when we were driving to Scottish Rite, in between getting sick and falling asleep, Luna kept trying to sing a word or two of this song playing on radio. lol She loves it! It’s called How Can It Be by Lauren Daigle She would say…”cause!…wrongs!…chains!…” It was so so funny. My hubster and I couldn’t stop laughing.
